Born in 1974 in Milan — so… more than half a century of real-life experience!
2001: Founded the agency “Irene Romano – Produzioni CreAttive”
2002: Created the website www.DanzaDance.com
Driven by her deep passion for dance, IRENE conceived and built this website as its Web Master: entirely dedicated to dance in all its forms, it provides (often exclusive) information about auditions, shows, interviews, and everything related to the world of dance in a 360° vision.
Today, the site’s NEWS subscriber database counts over 20,000 users.
2006: Birth of “DANZA TV” — a TV format with multiple episodes distributed online and broadcast on local television networks throughout Italy and in the Swiss Canton of Ticino.
The online success of DanzaDance and DanzaTV naturally evolved into live performances: starting in 2006, they began producing Dance Live Shows across Italy, which expanded their popularity and reputation (often created in partnership with trade fairs or municipal cultural departments).
Among these shows: “DANZA TV LIVE,” “MADONNA DANCE TRIBUTE,” “IDOL SHOW,” “MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE,” “FREDDIE MERCURY TRIBUTE,” “GRAZIE RAFFAELLA!,” “DANZA PER LEI,” “EURODANZA,” and many others.
Their most significant event today is “MUSICAL DAY” — now in its 18th edition, it has become the most important Musical Theatre Competition in Italy and one of the leading ones in Europe.
Additionally, IRENE is frequently involved in organizing auditions and hiring artists for prestigious private and corporate events — including repeated collaborations for EUROPARK shows (the largest amusement park in Milan).
INTERNATIONAL TRAVELER
A tourist and a traveler have two very different goals.
Since 2001, IRENE has embarked on international journeys to broaden her artistic and cultural experiences — exploring the world’s major historical and cultural heritage sites (many recognized and protected by UNESCO).
She has visited numerous countries, studying their history, culture, and political contexts, often through extended trips averaging one month each.
Central America: Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Cuba.
Caribbean Islands: British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, Grenada, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines, St. Martin, St. Barth, Anguilla.
Africa: Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Zanzibar (Tanzania).
Asia: China, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia.
Also, several short trips to major European capitals.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Offers occasional private and corporate training in Marketing, Web Design, and Computer Graphics.
In the 2001/2002 academic year, she taught Graphic Design and Web Design at the John Kaverdash private school in Milan.
In later years, she taught advanced courses in Adobe Photoshop and printing preparation for the same institution.
